Hell Drivers Pins and Buttons
Main Tag:
Description: Earl “Lucky” Teter was an American stunt driver, showman, and entrepreneur. He pioneered and popularized the touring stunt driving show, performing across the country until his death in a car jumping stunt. Born in Noblesville, Indiana, Teter was a gas station attendant who, by 1932, was performing automobile and motorcycle stunts. “Lucky Teter and His Hell Drivers” performed across the United States and Canada beginning in 1936, and had great success for six years. His show was so popular that, in some years, he performed at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto in the afternoons, then flew to Syracuse, New York, to appear in the New York State Fair at night, which required two sets of equipment.
